CONFIRMED Aaron Ramsdale leaves for Bournemouth

[Esablade]

.'..he wanted to leave though, what can you do?'

 

[Bladesman]

Kerching, thats covered Clarke's wages for the next 3 years.

 

[Smirth]

Good luck to him.

Couldn't care less and doesn't impact us at all in the short term so I won't get upset about it.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

I've got some family silver that I'd like to sell. Any suggestions?

 

[Wards]

So he was going to leave in the summer anyway as he refused a new deal? As I understand we'd have got a fee via tribunal but instead we've got upwards of a million quid for him? Fail to see an issue myself.

Letting that situation arise?

I hope the sell on clause is where the big value lies. If we aren't going to put him in the first team then let him accrue value elsewhere.

But you have to think the world's gone mad when Bournemouth are poaching our players. Bournemouth!

 

[Bladepicker]

We get buggered on transfer deals regardless of who the player is and their contract situation.

We don't though. Plenty of deals have worked in our favour in the past.

Obviously we have had some shockers, but you can't compare this with Lookman. One a pacy, skillful striker with 50 league appearances where he has looked a class apart, the other a goalie with none.

He was obviously going to leave in the summer, and as he is unlikely to have any involvement, maximise your earnings from him now.

This is not like Blackman, Maguire, Murphy or the two Kyles. I don't understand the anger.

 

[Smirth]

And before anyone starts going on about not having adequate cover for Moore, we didn't when Ramsdale was here. He's played 2 games for us and is completely unproven. Having him as back up was just as risky as Long or Eastwood IMO.

I suspect/hope Wilder will pick up an experienced, out of contract keeper should anything happen to Moore.

 

[Barney]

Letting him refuse a new deal?

Where has this idea that he refused a new deal come from?

 

[Booker4]

800 pissing grand! I'm not one for slating the club for selling players because we're in League One and I get that makes us vulnerable but 800 pissing grand! Thought we'd get more than that to be honest! I hope we have a sizeable sell on clause!

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

Where has this idea that he refused a new deal come from?

Are you saying the club let his contract run out by choice, or that they forgot about it?

You mean the lad who just fell down like a sack of shit all the time?

Well you if it helps you sleep better at night then you keep telling yourself that Lookman was the dogs bollocks.

I'm wondering where it has been stated that Ramsdale refused a new deal.

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

The bid exceeded Wilders valuation

 

[Bladepicker]

Letting him refuse a new deal?

My guess would be he is probably earning a wage not to dissimilar to what Moore is on while at a Premiership club. There is no way we can match a Premier League offer for a 2nd choice youngster who doesn't play.

Why?

He's a completely unproven 18 year old who has played 2 first team games and is out of contract in the summer (and has turned down a new deal.) 800k is good business in the circumstances.

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

I'm wondering where it has been stated that Ramsdale refused a new deal.

What's the other scenario?

 

[Leonardo Green]

fuck him. george long was a promising keeper as well. this season is all that matters right now.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Not a bad deal at all. Perfectly comfortable with that.

The chasing pack have lost the likes of Zach Clough and Matty Taylor, now thats a reason to be pissed off. And we play both of them very soon.....

 

[sheffielder]

Not going to lose sleep about it. Shame it's too late to spend any of it though hey! Haha

 

[robbiez666]

Why are people complaining about what we got for him? Bristol Rovers got £300k for Matty Taylor!

He's untested, would not have played this season and out of contract and would have moved away in the summer. Good business for me.

 

[Barney]

Shame it's too late to spend any of it though

I know, what a coincidence. Just like the sale of DCL.

 

[robbiez666]

I'm pretty sue that's a clause Kev puts in all deadline day transfer deals.

 

[Bladesman]

I know, what a coincidence.

That money has been spent but we knew that anyway.

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

If you think about it whatever we got for him we effectively pinched from Bolton- does that make anyone feel better?

 

[mattco2001]

I honestly don't see selling a "highly rated" youngster before he's proved himself an issue. Look at Slew. We have to accept that unless we get to a decent level this is going to happen. If we've got over £1m + add ons then I think it's a great deal. Moore, barring injury, will be our first choice for a while. Makes sense to me.
We've been down in league one for 5/6 years. We are a league one club/side. We have to sell. This won't change until we get back to a decent level. How have we not realised this yet?

 

[Davalon]

Disappointing stuff for me.

Some will take the opportunity to criticise the club, others seem to be revelling in stating how inevitable and irrelevant it is.
